I look at younger girls and I think, 'Doesn't she look great? Isn't she pretty?' And while I know I'll never be there again, I'm past the age of feeling jealous. Maybe in my 30s I would have been, but that part of my life has gone.

A marriage can go wrong at any time.

I hate trends, but I love fashion.

I literally change on the shop floor. I just stand there in my knickers sometimes.

Careers, children and homemaking all come above preserving your appearance. Self-preservation is at the bottom of the scale.

If you want to make the best of yourself you don't necessarily need to diet - you need to wear the right stuff.

As for the people who say tackling problems through clothes is superficial, I think they say that because they have their own issues about self worth.
